Testimonials

“I met Molly at Elite Sports and Spine in July 2013. She had started teaching early morning boot camp April of that year. I really wanted to start taking her classes when she first started teaching at Elite but I was initially intimidated and wasn’t sure I wanted to give up my swimming on those mornings to attend her boot camp. I was forced to take a break from swimming due to an ear infection so I decided this was my chance to at least try one of her classes.

To give a little history about me, I have run several 5k‘s, 10k‘s, ½ marathons, one triathlon and one marathon. As you can see, I like to run. I have been sidelined several times from running due to injury. Before I started attending Molly’s boot camp, I was not doing much strength training or core work and I was carrying an extra 20 lbs. of weight.

The first class I took with Molly she had us walk down to South Lake Union carrying a kettle bell to do our workout. I was thinking that was a workout in itself. I fell in love with her first class. Molly’s workouts and her spunky personality were exactly what I was looking for. I was not able to run at the time due to an injury from my marathon race the prior summer.

I started taking Molly’s class twice a week and loved every minute of it. Each week I could tell I was getting stronger and stronger. I also began talking to Molly about nutrition. I have wanted to lose the extra 20 lbs. that I was carrying around and had not been able to do it on my own. She asked me to join her 24-day challenge in the beginning of September. It was a definite yes for me! I actually started cleaning up my diet a week prior to the challenge and I started losing weight right away.

The big difference for me was eliminating sugar, bread and pasta. I ate a lot of dark leafy greens, protein and fruit. I still allowed myself to have one latte a day.

During that challenge, I lost approximately 15 lbs. I have kept up my clean eating and have lost a total of 22 lbs. I started running again and ran my fastest ½ marathon at the end of November. I cut my time by about 15 minutes. I am currently training for my 2nd marathon, 2nd Seattle to Portland bike ride, Ragnar Relay Race, Race from Seattle to Vancouver BC bike ride and several ½ marathons in between.

My body is so much stronger because of Molly’s boot camps, her 24 Day Challenge, and my continued clean eating.”

“After participating in the Boot Camp and the 30-Day Nutrition Challenge, I feel MUCH more energized and my cravings for sweets have waned significantly. I no longer have a pronounced reduction in energy levels at 2:00pm on a workday, as long as I have a snack to tide me over until dinner. Molly rocks!! She is an extremely motivating, hard-core trainer with an arsenal of workout ideas. She is always prepared to share and demonstrate proper technique and multiple variations of challenging exercises. Her positive energy is infectious and I always feel cared for and happy to be at every workout!”

“In 2012, I joined Molly’s 60-Day Fitness Challenge. After some minor dietary changes and a major lifestyle overhaul, I exited the challenge with 4% higher lean muscle mass than I had upon beginning. The Challenge encouraged me to set goals and reminded me of how fun fitness can be. Together, Molly and I flipped the switch on my mentality as it relates to overall wellness. Before, I was not a runner; last Sunday I earned a PR in a half marathon by 20 minutes. Before, I was dining out 75% of the time and drinking heavily most days of the week; this week I will likely have two sensible meals out. Molly whipped me into shape and helped me re-focus my lifestyle so that I can become the best version of myself – while assuring me that nobody is perfect and sometimes it’s okay to have half a sheet of brownies. Everything in moderation. Molly’s mission is simple: to help each client succeed at achieving his or her ideal body (whatever that might be). She comes at you with a no-nonsense and inclusive attitude that empowers you to make results happen. Molly’s creed? Eat Good Food. And Exercise. The value is phenomenal – individually, the program components would cost over $1,000. Total cost for everything is under $300. This is less than twice per week personal training and a gym membership at most fitness centers in Seattle – and it absolutely works. Her workouts are challenging – but not impossible – and her attitude is contagious (even at 6 o’clock in the morning). She’ll push you hard, you’ll get in a good sweat, and you’ll leave feeling like you belong to a community.”
